Aaron N. Halstead

Where do I begin and how do I thank a legal team that forever altered the course of my life? It is difficult to put into words what Aaron Halstead and Matt Robles did for me and how they successfully closed a very difficult and negative chapter in my life. I was wrongfully terminated sixteen days a...fter returning to work from a serious worker’s compensation injury by my employer of over ten years, and I had no idea if there were any legal options available to me. After doing all that I could with my former employer to rectify the termination and be reinstated, I was left in a situation that I didn’t know if things would ever be made right. After researching worker’s compensation attorneys in Madison, I decided to call their office, present the facts, and inquire if I even had a case. They promptly reviewed the information, accepted my case, and began working diligently on my behalf. Thirteen and a half months after first walking into their office, I received notification from the DWD that I had won my worker’s compensation hearing, and that the Judge ordered my former company to pay me a year’s wages. We went through two hearings in the process, and I can’t say enough great things about their legal strategy, preparation, and determination to win for me. Aaron and Matt are not only fantastic attorneys, but they are wonderful people who will fight for the truth. Their paralegal, Armando Veizaga, also helped in my case, and he was a tremendous asset to their team. Many thanks to this great group of skilled and compassionate people who truly changed the course of my life.

I came to Aaron Halstead because I was concerned that I was about to be terminated unfairly. His appraisal of my situation was honest and practical: we talked through potential strategies for proactively addressing my concerns, including his helping me to put pressure on my employer to do what is fa...ir. His intervention appears to be succeeding, as I am negotiating a redefinition of my position that will hopefully bring about what's best for everyone. Aaron’s representation is very fair. More than once he has recommended *not* taking an action as it would cost extra money and wasn't warranted. At his suggestion we have worked mostly by e-mail, to keep costs down. His e-mails are thoughtfully considered, down to earth, and helpful. It is a great relief to have a strong and expert person in my corner, who genuinely has my interests at heart.
